Hi devaraj said…
It’s hard to say what’s wrong without code.
Try to use froward instead to redirect(forward keeps what you have in POST).
I’m assuming that on the third page you have valeues from the first (var_dump($_POST))

Hi toolagio!

Thanks for the code.
I think I would expand the code slightly to test if the namespace exists (if the user is logged in) and if not – then create it by default so that all the rest of my classes don’t need to think about creating the namespace if/when they need to store something there.

But its all semantics

Hi thichquay,

Terribly sorry for the tardy reply – but here goes :

You can find the myUser class in your application directory :

your_project/apps/your_app/lib

The file is called myUser.class.php.

Hope this helps.

halfer is correct. The best way to do this would be to keep all items you want to expire (upon logout) in one namespace… for example loggedInUser. See below

public function initialize($context, $parameters = array()) {
parent::initialize($context, $parameters = array());
if($this->isTimedOut()) {
$this->getAttributeHolder()->removeNamespace(‘loggedInUser’);
}
}

hello,
how can I refernce the new myUser class instead of the original sfBasicSecurityUser? Also, where should I place this class at? Is it supposed to be under the same sfBasciSecurityUser folder?

Thanks

Hi Halfer,

I see what you mean.

Handling the ‘logout’ action is simple enough. The issue described here references the timeout side of ending an authenticated session – which could not be properly handled in an action.

But, yeah – application specific namespaces would be a good idea as it bundles all attributes in one space.

One thing you can do is to store all session attributes in an application-specific namespace. Then upon logging out, remove the namespace, rather than specific attributes, so that it clears everything. This means that as new attributes are introduced into the system, you don’t have to remember to clear them up as well.

Hi Fork,

Good idea. Plugins for Symfony are the future…
